You'll even have the chance to pass by the Juliet Club, a cultural organization that collects letters 💌 from "cursed lovers" seeking Juliet's advice 🩷. The course also showcases the banks of the Adige River. As the country's second-largest river, it splits the city of Verona in two, adding an even more romantic allure 🥰.
